Dog As Narrator?

[Voboy]

My idea is a werewolf satire told from the perspective of a normal dog. I see many, many opportunities for spoofing and general amusement. The narrator dog, in FP, isn't going to narrate in woofs and barks; he'll probably sound like a resigned wiseass.

Anyone ever try this?

Bebop3 has a 750-word story named "A Good Girl in Montauk" that is told by the dog. It was one of the most creative stories in the original 750-word event.

Thanks for the lead; I'm thinking of a million different jokes I can throw in there.

Why not? One of the best murder/detective stories I can remember was narrated, in a lovely plot twist, by an infant. Done well, it has all kinds of potential.

Gordo12 has one entitled "Fido". It was the first time I had seen this done and I really enjoyed reading it. I can see all kinds of opportunity to play with the dog's interpretations of what he sees humans doing.

It’s not funny and it’s certainly not erotic, but Philip K. Dick has a short story called “Roog”, from a dog POV. Very trippy. Certainly an extreme example of the non-human perspective.

Lester Del Rey did a short story from a dog's perspective. The dog was the last observer on earth after humanity had wiped itself out. Odd and elegiac at the same time. In his introduction to the story, he said one editor rejected it because it "had no plot" but I rather liked it.

Is there a potential bestiality problem, to the extent the dog narrates sexual events? In the same sense that there's an incest problem if the narrator recalls events experienced or even witnessed as a child?

Just throwing this out there. I'm not sure I have a strong opinion on this.

If the dog is quasi-human sentient, probably not a problem.

From what I've been able to glean on the bestiality policy viz-a-viz Lit, is that bestial sex with an animal is not on, but a human sentience in an animal gets by - hence, werewolves.

So you can think like a penguin, but not fuck one. If that makes sense .

I have a couple of animal narrated stories:

The late Terry Pratchett had a talking dog in Anhk Morpork called Gaspode.
The paragraphs dealing with aa talking dog are hilarious.
Try Men at Arms,

Ahhh. Gaspode. A favorite of mine.

So this is going to be a werewolf story. The dog hangs out with the werewolf when he's in wolf form, where they do typically canine things; he gets all skeeved out when he catches his werewolf buddy screwing a human woman, in the same way a human would get skeeved out by his friend screwing a dog.

I smile every time I think about writing it. The werewolf sex is something Lit doesn't consider bestiality, but my narrator sort of will. I think it'll be fun.

So do it, and have fun doing it.

 

[Bebop3]

NotWise was kind enough to point out my 750 word story, but there is also a dog who is a PoV character in "A Montauk Christmas".

Good luck with your story!

Like Sgt Angua ?

I've sometimes got inside an animal's mind when writing, but never written in first person as an animal.

For example, in one story an annoying girl brings her dog to her boyfriend's parents' farm for Christmas, and the dog discovers a large fenced area which contained some mysterious birds that make clucking noises. The dog thinks that these birds look absolutely delicious, but cannot get inside to catch one, and runs up and down the fence barking at them, and the birds of course panic. I wrote that scene from the dog's point of view, and its perception of finding the chicken enclosure rather than just saying it chased, barked at and terrified the chickens.

 

[Voboy]

That sounds like fun. Being mostly an FP writer, I don't do much with animals; I very much enjoyed a werewolf POV story I did last year, though.

If I was a TP omni sort of guy, I can definitely see a benefit. The Lord of the Rings, for example, doesn't have a lot of charming moments, but at one point for just one sentence Tolkien sinks into a fox' POV, and it comes as a pleasant surprise to the reader.

Thanks for the shout out YK.

Fido was one of my best received stories with something like 55/56 comments saying in some form or other how hilarious it is.

And... Rufus will ride again in Ch 2. IF I can ever break free long enough from new ideas to go back and finish it

Philip K. Dick has a short story called “Roog”

Tried to find that story but couldn't. I'm sure I read it decades ago when I was a kid.

 

[vanmyers86]

P.G. Wodehouse wrote a couple of short stories from the POV of an ugly but amiable dog who calls himself The Mixer. They're delightful, as is most of his stuff.

 

[Voboy]

Good suggestions, folks. Thank you!

I'm looking forward to getting around to it.

 

[Voboy]

So. I'm around to writing this.

I get the ban on bestiality: obviously woman-on-werewolf is good to go, woman-on-dog not. But anyone know whether I'm likely to run into issues writing dog-on-dog in FP? Expressed, again, as a sentient thinker.

It's turning out almost exactly like a human sex scene played for comic effect, only the two fuckers are both doggies. Thoughts?

I think you've escaped the fold. You can ask Laurel, or you can write it and see what happens.

 

[Comentarista82]

I'm shocked no one suggested "The Art of Racing in the Rain," which is the perfect movie and a great example of how well someone can pull off a dog narrating the entire story.

I love the Non human crowds 'No, its not bestiality cause a werewolf isn't real!"
Newsflash 1-if you read a story about a doberman with a woman that's not real either, its fiction

Newsflash 2-if its furry and fucking and you're stroking, you're into bestiality....which falls under the non con and incest category of whatever floats your boat as long as you're not doing it in real life.

FFS just own your kink is pretty much how I feel about it.

No, but seeing dogs age one year to seven human years make sure the dog is 3(21) so you don't get banned for under age.

I'm kind of joking....kind of thinking it could happen cause....lit.
